TIMS 
                      Hi Chuck,
                      We had a few minutes before lunch, 
                  so we laid out Timmy and the TIMS unit on the lawn for a full 
                  length photo op at 44 (or maybe 45, didn't measure) feet. Looks 
                  pretty cool, like a French river coal barge, no?
                      
                      Hope to try a powered lash or 
                        bolt up this weekend. You're right, I am having far too 
                        much fun with this. Can't wait to see the Coast Guards 
                        reaction when I take it for a complimentary safety inspection!
                      
                      Did you notice that one section 
                        is called the "Duckworks Reading Room" with 
                        appropriate logos. 
                      
                      Also, Corbin "Draco 
                        the Red" did some .dxf drawings of the TIMS project, 
                        "so I could get more practical work done with TurboCad. 
                        Also I think the TIMS Project is kinda cool." 
                      
                      See ya' in two and a half weeks 
                  at the Kingston 
                  Messabout.
